Yeah benzos can do some weird things. Klonopin always takes my anxiety away (which is why I'm on it). But if I know I'm going somewhere where I need to be social and outgoing, and I'm feeling a little down, I'll pop a klonopin and I'm good to go.
I just don't want to become hooked because I do love that manic "euphoric" feeling so much. Though I've done some pretty stupid things & stuff I regret while in a manic episode, so it needs to be controlled.
